Pastor Emmanuel Sunday and his wife Florence live in the town of Bweyogerere, on the outskirts of Kampala.
The main brick built church is within a small compound, together with the school, administration block and some of the accommodation for the orphans. The church and school were already established when Community Church Sheppey became involved.
Funding from Community Church Sheppey has included:
Ø Concrete floor in class 1 and 2
Ø Plastering interior of classrooms
Ø Textbooks
Ø Photocopier
Ø A small brick built kitchen
Ø Guttering and rain water collecting tanks
Ø Piping and a meter for mains water supply in the dry season
Ø Brick perimeter wall
Ø Various medical and water shortage emergencies
Most recently, funds have been sent to help with the upgrading of the boys’ dormitories and tarmac on the playground. The parent church at Bweyogerere has also been responsible for planting many churches in villages, which Pastor Emmanuel oversees.

From the end of the earth to the ends of the earth...
Community Church Sheppey is a Pentecostal church on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, and is working through the Christian organisation Connections in partnership with a church in Bweyogerere in the suburbs of Kampala. This church oversees a number of small village churches scattered around Uganda, and through it CCS has donated money and built friendships with many churches in this network, as well as another church outside this network (led by Pastor James Akolo, who was studying in the UK in 2005 and met CCS at a Christian conference).
This relationship was established when a member of CCS visited Uganda in 2001 and brought back reports of poverty and church activity in some of these places. Since this time money has been donated to build brick church buildings for four churches, support Pastors, pay for building work and equipment for schools as well as sponsorship of teachers and orphans at two of these schools. A close relationship has been established between the leaders of CCS, Connections and the Ugandan churches and the members of the churches are also involved in correspondence and annual visits to Uganda.
This Blogspot is intended to provide information and updated stories about the churches we support in Uganda and our own church, and enable you to get to know the individuals and communities you have supported. A partnership that is just about giving money doesn't really acheive anything in the long run. What is incredible about this partnership is that the friendships that have built up through regular visits and contact mean that we are both having an impact on eachother. Encouraging eachother in our faith and sharing the sense of God's purpose for our lives, we are working together for the good of our communities.
Villages all over Uganda will never be the same again because of Sheppey. Sheppey will never be the same again because of Uganda. God is really up to something.
